Looking through my winter wardrobe
I was lacking a pair of really good brown boots
I did have though a pair of light tan boots that I really liked
but didn't seem to wear as often as I might simply because
well, light tan isn't the boot I want to put on every day
so out came the implements
Good shoe brushes
and good polish
(I recently learned that you set the polish alight for a moment
which makes it turn liquid and solves the crumbly problem)
+
a little elbow grease
and my tan boots
were transformed to a beautiful pair of brown boots that
I have worn non stop
and didn't spend a cent on
I particularly like the way the brown polish caught
in the seams
What a good idea; they look ever so chic.
ReplyDeleteYes! One of my favorite tricks ... So far, I've resurrected a purse and a pair of boots. Yours look great and the DIY satisfaction is hard to beat.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and I am going to be following suit! They turned out amazing....

Those are beautiful leather boots. Were you convinced they would turn out like this, or did you take a risk?
ReplyDeleteWill the polish alone keep them permanently dark brown?
Wear them in good health
